    This lettuce is the best I've ever had! Crisp green leaves from the bottom to the top. Last season was my second season ever gardening in my 70 years and after eating this I cannot eat any other, which reminds me, I need to stock up on seeds. Last season I dedicated one of my 4'x8' raised beds just for this lettuce. There is nothing better than picking fresh lettuce everyday for a salad or to put in sandwiches. I brought some to a family members cookout and what a mistake that was. I had over a dozen people wanting my lettuce all the time with each person describing it the same way I did

    So far so good lettuce is so easy and forgiving to grow.

    Tastes absolutely great. I probably should have thinned…. Started them directly in my unheated greenhouse raised bed in November. Zone 7a.

    I live in Zone 4b on Lake Superior in Northern MN. Started these seeds inside in mid-April, transplanted in mid-June and harvested this head in early August. Tasted great!
